Question

Fred has 45 football cards. Scott has 1/5 as many football cards as Fred. How many football cards does Scott have?

Answer 1

Scott has 9 football cards.

Explanation:

If Scott has 1/5 as many football cards as Fred, then the number of football cards Fred has times 1/5 would result in the number of football cards Scott has;

Fred * 1/5 = Scott

45 * 1/5 = 9

Answer 2

9

Explanation:

Scott has 45 * 1/5 football cards

45 / 5 can be simplified to 9
